According to investigators, Harvey and two other people started fighting, a gun was pulled and shots were fired. Officers said Harvey was taken to St. Elizabeth Hospital before they arrived at the scene. They added he was later sent to Our Lady of the Lake Hospital, where he was listed in critical condition at last check.

"From everything we were led to believe this event was being held to assist the family with the burial costs associated with Clarence Harvey, and for another family member to come in there and for it to escalate to this particular type of incident it's just bizarre and strange," said Gonzales Police Sgt. Steven Nethken.

Sanders was booked on charges of attempted second-degree murder and felon in possession of a firearm.

Gonzales police say they do not believe Sunday's shooting is connected to the death of Clarence Harvey, but the investigation is ongoing.

Nethken noted other charges could come as the investigation continues.
